I WILL KEEP GOD’S WORD!

Psalm 119:34 – Devotional

Psalm 119:34

“Lord, teach me Your will and Your way for my life and I will follow You to the end. Give me understanding and I will keep Your law faithfully.”

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. The Psalmist pens this Psalm in the form of a prayer beseeching the Lord to be our teacher. Each section is introduced by a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. I am told that Jewish youth had to memorize the entire chapter. Containing 176 verses, that was no easy task.

It is interesting to dig a little deeper into the meaning of the word FOLLOW. In the Hebrew it means to keep guard and protect. That gives us a much clearer meaning of what the writer is seeking from the Lord.

When I was a boy, or even a grown man in graduate school, I was required to apply myself to gaining knowledge. I am afraid I fell short many times. Regardless of my failures I was exposing myself to the things my instructor endeavored to teach me.

As we read this Psalm of prayer to the Lord, it is important to make it our own prayer. Our part is to listen to the Lord as He teaches and then to keep, guard, and protect His Word, with our whole heart.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!

Psalm 123:1-2 – Devotional

Psalm 123:1-2

“I life up my eyes to You, to You who sit enthroned in heaven. As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till He shows us His mercy.”

Have you ever noticed individuals employed to perform a certain job, but who failed to see the undone tasks around them?

I recall a man w ho was the custodian for a large organization. His job was to insure that everything was kept neat and tidy. He failed miserably!

It was not uncommon for this custodian to walk past wads of paper that someone had carelessly tossed on the floor. He was too busy trying to listen in on some conversation that he had not authorization to be involved with.

On the other extreme, I have seen people who went out of their way to be sensitive to the needs of those they served. In fact, they saw to the needs of others who were not their superiors. They became a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and responded to needs around them, regardless of who should have been doing the work.

A true servant of the Lord should always be keeping an eye open to see those who might have needs that the Master wants us to respond to.

If we purpose to look, we will see things we have never seen before and will be doing the Master’s will. What are you seeing?

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

LET GOD BE MAGNIFIED!

Psalm 70:4 – Devotional

Psalm 70:4

“Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You: and let all who love Your salvation say continually, ‘Let God be magnified.’”

I am not blessed with a scientific mind, but I do a sliver of understanding that the qualities of glass, shaped, ground, and polished enable it to become a tool to view distant objects up close, or minute objects magnified dramatically.

The Word of God may be understood as God’s gift to us that allows us to view Him magnified more and more. If we fail to use His Divinely inspired Word to see Him magnified, we are left with limited sight.

Sometimes I reflect upon the precious work that biblical translators have done across the centuries of time. They have labored hour after hour in order for us to be able to view God’s Word for us in clarity and magnification.

I want to be one who takes advantage of the precious result of these faithful servants of the Lord who give us a clear view into the WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

OUR RIGHTEOUS LORD!

Psalm 11:7 – Devotional

Psalm 11:7

“The LORD is totally righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright in heart.”

We live is a wicked and fallen world. It is easy for us to become overwhelmed by all of the violence and needless suffering that surrounds us. But in the midst of all of the ugliness we are able to have a light that shines bright and true.

It is vital for us to remember that the darker the night the brighter our light will shine. Does that mean that we are happy about the evil and darkness? Not on your life. The darkness and evil are the natural consequence of our fallen state.

I am so happy that we serve a Lord who loves us so much that He became one of us to demonstrate His love for us and to pay the price for our redemption that only He could pay.

Our righteous Lord became sin in our place that we might receive His gift of eternal love and an eternity with Him in glory. In this world we may be faced with sin and evil, but we serve a Lord whose blood has overcome our fatal condition. His righteousness may be beyond our ability to describe, but I can hardly wait to experience it with Him forever!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
